Comparison: When compared to the Baby Bjorn Active carrier, the Synergy's breathable 3D mesh makes all the difference. The Synergy, like the Baby Bjorn Air carrier, is ideal for warmer climates and during the summer months. If you expect the take your baby out into the cold in the carrier, the thicker insulated fabric of the Active Carrier may be a better choice. Another comparable carrier to the Baby Bjorn Synergy would be theLascal M1, another ventilated carrier designed in Sweden. Like the Baby Bjorn Synergy, the Lascal M1 is best in warm weather, but the M1 is made with light, strong bamboo fabrics.

We have the ErgoBaby with the infant insert. My baby hated it so I was never able to use it. A friend recommended this one and we love it! I only wish I had known about it sooner because my baby outgrew it so quickly. She loved being able to face forward which you can't do with the other one I mentioned. Can't wait to use it with our next child!
